I got a guy who will do it for 175, but, chicago has a no front tint ordinance even though full 35% is legal in il. The ticket is 250 and they can get you when you're parked. The risk is yours.

You still have to deal with city ordinances. They are taking it to court, but until then, I won't get to done.

Nino at Umbra Window Tinting.

http://umbrawindowtinting.com/

He did a great job on my wife's X5, and comes highly recommended by just about everyone.

Highly highly highly recommend Nino at Umbra in Schaumburg. Get it done once, get it done right.

He has done several vehicles of mine within the past several years and I have had zero issues.

z tech quoted

$299 for any tint combo with tint at 15%.

$329 for any tint combo with tint at 5% (Limo)

I've ran 35% Front and 5% on my last 2 cars with no issues with the police, before the new tint law came into effect.

I went 35% all around and I'm very happy with it. Not too dark not too light. Went to autoart in glenview to get it done, happy with the work. $275
